We have waited… But He’s not come!
We have waited… But He’s not come!
We have prayed…
We have prophesied
We have preached…
We have read the Word
We have praised
We have sung our songs
And we look, but He hides His face.
We have waited… But He’s not come!
We have waited… But He’s not come!
We have danced
We have shouted out
We have cried
We have bowed down
We say ‘God is here’
But we kid ourselves
and we look, but He turns away.
We have waited… But He’s not come!
We have waited… But He’s not come!
There must be something wrong…..
O God O God O God O God O God
